Since its inception, Children First has been keen to provide training opportunities to students and aspiring professionals in the field of child & adolescent mental health. Over the years, our collaboration with universities, colleges, and other training organizations has culminated in a formalized training & internship program

Supervised observation of the following services (with consent from the family/client):

Clinical Services

We have a clinical team comprising of child & adolescent pychiatrists, clinical and counseling psychologists and family therapists

Group Work

Groups allow children to learn and develop skills by working alongside their peers in a safe and therapist facilitated environment.

Training in Assessments

Our philosphy is that each child is wired and inspired differently. Therefore our assessments are comprehensive and aimed at building strengths and difficulties profile for each child, along with a detailed plan of management, rather than focusing simply on IQ scores or diagonistic labels.

Developmental Services

Children First provides screening, diagnosis and intervention for children with developmental delays or disorders such as Autism Spectrum Disorder, Global Devlopmental Delays, Dyspraxia, ADHAD etc.

Interns will be eligible for additional discounts for any workshops/ courses being conducted at Children First.
